RISK MANAGEMENT, INC.
What a
Wonderful
Convention
It was wonderful seeing everyone at the
LMA Convention in Alexandria. We enjoyed
reconnecting with so many friends
from the Louisiana municipal community,
including mayors, clerks, police and fire
chiefs, and everyone else involved in the
service of our state’s cities, towns, and villages.
We also enjoyed meeting new municipal
officials and employees, and we are
thankful for the new opportunities which
we hope to enrich over the months and
years ahead.
We are grateful for the many friendships
we’ve established with our municipal
leaders and employees, and we sincerely
appreciate the opportunity to serve the
municipalities of the State of Louisiana.
We also welcome our newest addition
to our already existing wonderful and
insightful 2023-2024 Board of Directors,
LMA First Vice President and Leesville
Mayor Rick Allen. He will be joining Chairman
and Woodworth Mayor David Butler,
Vice Chairman and Rayville Mayor Harry
Lewis, Secretary/Treasurer and Gonzales
Mayor Barney Arceneaux, Pineville Mayor
Rich Dupree, Grosse Tete Mayor Michael
Chauffe, LMA President and Cheneyville
Mayor Derrick Johnson, Sr., and Sibley
Mayor Jimmy Williams.
